Fated Mates: The Fae

Ronan: Chapter Nine

Ronan

I was a d**k. Plain and simple. And I was self-destructive and stupid. Really f*cking stupid.

I couldn't get the look of Leif's face out of my head. The tears in his eyes. It made my heart ache and Lux wasn't too happy with me either.

I sat in the half-empty classroom, broody as hell, trying to pay attention to what the substitute teacher was droning on about. But all I could hear and listen to was Amethyst and Ivy talking in the back of the classroom.

They were talking about me and Leif and what happened the night and afternoon before.

"He kissed you?" Amethyst asked in a whisper.

"Yeah."

"How was it?"

"Gods, it was perfect. I mean, I have nothing to compare it to but it made my whole body feel..."

"Like electric?"

"Yes! Exactly!"

"I know that feeling. Ronan...Gods...if all men were invented like him I wouldn't be dreading getting chosen. And his d*ck..."

"Shh...shut your mouth because you don't know who is listening."

"You just don't want to hear how amazingly beautiful it was. And Hart wasn't lying about how soft they feel. Even when he was hard, the skin was smooth. And he has piercings. Its...Gods, whoever his fated mate is will be a lucky b*tch. But I can't even imagine it going inside of me. It's huge!"

There was a pregnant pause as I smirked to myself. "Is it as big as Leif's was?"

I stiffen in my seat at the mention of his d**k. It shouldn't matter after how I broke his f*cking heart but...I leaned back in my chair to listen to her answer.

"Bigger. I think it was because he was hard. But bigger and...when he came, he was so sweet. He did it in his hand and then he helped me up and kissed me. I felt like I was in heaven, Ivy. He was the sweetest. Then he helped me fix my hair and wiped the lipstick from my mouth."

"I can't believe you did that. And with him. What if you had been caught? That would have been horrible!"

I roll my eyes and bite my lip so I don't turn around and snap at her.

"Stop. Seriously. There is nothing wrong with Ronan."

Silence and then a sigh. "I know. I'm sorry Amethyst. I just need you to understand that he will get into trouble for even touching you. He can go to prison. And remember what will happen to you if things go further than what you did last night."

I close my eyes as I think of poor Amethyst on the streets, being ignored and withering away to nothing. I wince at how stupid I was acting last night. I shouldn't have done that with her even though she wanted to. She said it was a going away gift because she knew she wouldn't get the chance to do it again.

And who was I to turn down a blowj*b from a beautiful, innocent girl? But if I had been thinking of her instead of Leif and Ivy and how beautifully he came for me and her lips on his mouth, then maybe I would have turned her down.

Maybe.

"I know. But we didn't get caught. Anyway, tell me about the kiss. Did he give any clue as to whether he was going to pick you or not?"

Ivy snorts and sighs breathily. "It was hot. Like...his tongue and the bar he had through it just made me feel like jelly on the inside. You know?"

I turn in my seat as the substitute finishes whatever the f*ck she was saying and face Ivy. She raises her eyebrows at me as I smile at her and check her out.

I can't even be mad at him for kissing her. She's attractive. She's got a tight body hidden under her dress and pretty hot lips. "How did it taste?"

She furrows her eyebrows. "What?"

"The kiss. How did it taste?"

She startles and glances at Amethyst, her neck and then her cheeks blazing with color.

"You...you heard us?"

Amethyst is smirking and blushes as she pretty much eye-f*cks me.

"Being a dog has its advantages." I answer blindly. "So the taste. How was it?"

She crinkles her nose and shrugs a shoukder, looking uncomfortable. "Good. I guess. Jealous?"

I snort and shake my head, loving this rule change to my situation. I can talk to them without repercussions. Atleast in class.

"No. Not really. Not seeing as I had him on his knees sucking my c*ck before he took you out. Do you like the taste of dog c*m?"

Her eyes narrow and her lips purse. It was a d**k move and I seemed to be full of those here lately.

"You're disgusting," She says quietly, shaking her head. I can see a hint of hurt in her purple eyes.

I smile and shrug. "I just figured that's why you enjoyed it so much. You had a little taste of the both of us."

"I hate you."

"I hate you more." I grin at her and turn back in my seat.

"Did...did you both plan it? Did he...was he nice to me because you two planned on doing that?"

My stomach drops at how vulnerable she sounds and I have to remind myself of all of the sh*tty things she did to me before to center myself.

"I wish. Leif isn't mean. And I didn't know he was going on a date with you. If I did, then I probably wouldn't have come to be with him for these last few days."

Ivy's eyes flash with relief and she nods. "But you weren't lying about him blowing you before he came out with me."

"No. He really did that. Then you went and got your stench all over him."

"He kissed me. Not the other way around."

"And how would Daddy feel about that, Ivy? If he hadn't been in the bathroom, what would he have done if he saw his precious girl locking lips with a male?"

Ivy purses her lips and then smirks at me. "He went away on purpose. My father wanted Leif to take advantage of the situation. He did it again today with the high power ranking male from the Falls. He's no fool. He knows what he was doing."

I raise my eyebrows and shake my head. "So you're whoring yourself out to the higher ranks?"

She rears back as if I had slapped her and curls her upper lip. "No. I'm just informing you that my father knows. He wants them to want me."

I scoff and shake my head. "So Leif is just one of five guys your dad is pimping you out to? Let me guess...you let this one kiss you too?"

She rolls her eyes and takes a deep breath. "You're a dog. So you don't understand half of the politics in this world. You don't belong here. And if you want what's best for Leif, you'd let him choose a woman and not give him any sh*t for it. Let him go, Ronan. He deserves better than what you can offer."

I swallow hard at the cold hard truth and nod curtly. "Just don't go thinking that you're any better than me. You're vile and he deserves sunshine in his life. Amethyst, he deserves someone like you."

She raises her eyebrows and blushes, glancing at Ivy as she juts her chin up as if she couldn't give a care about any of the words I was saying.

"Thank you, Ro. But it's not up to us anyway. We might end up in different regions. But...as his friend maybe you can put a good word in?"

I smile at her and nod. "Sure. But I doubt I'll see him before I leave. Something in sure you'll be glad to hear." I nod at Ivy and she rolls her eyes.

"I could care less about anything to do with you, Ronan. But the thought of never having to see you again after a month is appealing."

"There's something we can agree on. Amy, you want to partner up with me in Earth Elements?"

She beams and nods and Ivy scowls at her.

"Traitor."

"You took his friend. He can take me. Atleast while he has the chance to." She winks at me and I shake my head with a grin. She was definitely going to make some man happy one day. It was just too bad it wasn't going to be me.

In Earth Elements, it seemed like Ivy couldn't stand being away from Amy and followed us around with her partner, Glinda. I felt like these three women were in Leif's top three.

Glinda had white blonde hair like me and was tall and willow-y with a nice smile. It was just too bad that she was almost as bad as Ivy when it came to me.

"Why are we following the dog again?"

"We're not. We're following Amethyst."

I snicker as I lift a mound of dirt and trip her up behind me. She stumbles and curses under her breath.

"Good job, Ronan. That was very quick!" The substitute teacher beams my way and I nod at her with a smile.

Amethyst screws her face up as she uses her hands to try to do the same. A small ant hill like bump appears on the ground in front of us and she huffs in frustration.

"How do you do that? You do it as easily as breathing."

I lean into her as Ivy watches us and I brush my lips against her ear. "They say not to use your emotions for casting, but it's the opposite. Happy emotions usually work with Earth. Think of happy moments when you try to weild."

Ivy narrows her eyes at us as Amethyst turns to me with raises eyebrows. "But they say it's dangerous."

"I've been doing it for years. It's not. They like to think that you should all be emotionless robots here. Do it an you'll see."

She nods once and takes a deep breath. She smiles as she wields and grows her anthill into a full mound, adding a flower on top for good measure.

She jumps in excitement as she claps and throws her arms around me, squishing her boobs against my chest.

Over her shoulder, Ivy is staring at the mound, her eyes still narrowed at the pink tulip on Amethyst's mound.

I let her go as the substitute looks over at us and nods at our little hills. This is child's play for me. But then again, I feel like Lux has a lot to do with my powers here.

"How did you do that?" Ivy asks her. Amethyst looks at me and I shake my head at her infestimentally.

She shrugs and smiles. "He just encouraged me. Made me look at it from a different perspective."

Ivy glances at me, and for the first time ever looks at me without a hint of malice or hate in her eyes. Just curiosity.

I look away from her and close my eyes. It's been harder to think of happy moments but I think of a simple time when my mom held me after a bad dream and stroked my hair while I went back to sleep.

I open my eyes and grin at the field of flowers I conjured up from the earth and hear the awe in the substitute teachers voice as she walks around and studies the flowers. Was I showing off? Hell yeah I was. Was it to intimidate Ivy Hightower? Also, yes. But I was mostly trying to show her that I was good enough.

Better than good enough. Even if Leif and I couldn't stay together, I would have been a good match for any one here. Not that I wanted that, but there was my truth.

"Ronan, you just gained ten points." The substitute beams at me and nods. "Everyone should take note of how seamlessly he produced all of these beautiful flowers. How are you with fruit?"

I smile but I think of Leif and how proud he would have been if he had been here. My mood sours and I shrug.

"I don't know. But maybe my partner can try."

Amethyst looks unsure but I nod at her and she takes another breath and blows everyone away with a perfect lemon tree full of big, yellow lemons.

At least I can do something right before I leave. Even if it doesn't have a thing to do with Leif.
